"Spindle: 4mm dia. (with flat) x
8.5mm long (15mm to mounting face)"

The Re'an is available with fitting "R4", but "D4" would be correct for the omeg pots.

Why are knobs for 4mm diameter so hard to find in small quantities? (search of the forum confirms this situation)

Any tips, tricks, or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
 
ebay?  http://cgi.ebay.de/Drehknopfe-4mm-Achse-Sifam-14mm-10Stk-/370256537153?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Bauteile&hash=item5635026641

not in the us though....

here some from the us but it's inches over there ...1/8 to be precise...

D4would be correct... but is obviously unavailable :'(

probably because R4 can fit a D4 knob...

I never tried it with 4mm, but I mounted R6 knobs on D6 pots, and the 'screw-fix fitting' worked well. Should be the same with R4

Silly me, not checking ebay. I was looking at those Sifam knobs and seeing only large quantity minimums. Leave it to some ebay superseller to batch em out in small lots.

Thanks all!
 
If you´re still searching, I´ve got some 4mm knobs.

They´re similar (if not the same) to the collet knobs Audiomaintenace sells
for the s800-kit but grey.

I have grey and black caps plus clear skirts with 0-11 numbers as well.

If you´re interested, send me a PM.

Best,

Anders
